• "Lovely clean van, main seating could be looked at though."

  Seating felt really low to sit down on and then you sank a little more once seated; customers with knee issues( like myself) found it hard to get up.

• "Lodge was lovely only fault double bedroom door doesn’t close."

  Not impressed with the restaurant or the swimming pool. Booked Sunday lunch then when we went…no roast left, husband went swimming and paid £25 for three and couldn’t use the steam room as it was out of use , should of been told that before having to pay .

  Unfortunately there was a leak from the bathroom which we were unaware of which swelled the woodwork. All repaired now. Glad you enjoyed the lodge. Property Owner

• "We stayed in Doormouse over Christmas as we have family nearby."

  The property was decorated for Christmas when we arrived and there was a Christmas card and pressie for us on arrival which was lovely. The property was just perfect for the three of us and our doggy and being able to snuggle up in front of the fire while watching Christmas films was exactly what we wanted. We had everything we needed and plenty of room for us all. The place was spotless and the Wifi signal was amazing, it never dropped out once, which when you have a 6 year old who got devices galore for Christmas is a god send. We will definitely be booking here again!

  Spotlessly clean throughout, well equipped with everything you could need and very cosy as well as great location. Felt so at home with all the extra touches and good quality fixtures and furnishings. On site spa and pool also very good. Well done to the owner as this property is perfect. Would definitely return to dormouse lodge.

  The owners were very helpful, and we did the canal walk, warton crag and morecambe bay as suggested in the guest book. The swimming pool was shut Sunday due to boiler issues at the gym but there is a pool in carnforth less then a mile away which was great.

• "We had a lovely 9 night stay at Doormouse Lodge during the heatwave."

  We found it to be well maintained, clean, comfortable with everything you need, there were plenty of little extras too. My daughters enjoyed playing the board games on the table outside on the warm evenings. The lodge is situated not too far from the complex and the Waters Edge Bar & Restaurant. There is a lovely outside seating area overlooking the lake and a small beach. We used the swimming pool/steam room twice. We found the staff to be very polite and helpful and the facilities were clean. There is no shop on site but Aldi and Booths are only a 5 minute drive away, there is also a Tesco nearby. The Red Luck Chinese takeaway, Sizzle-In and North Road Chippy in Carnforth were all good if you don't want to eat out or you don't want to cook and only 5 minute's away. The Smithy Inn do amazing, reasonably priced pub meals. The George Washington and Shovel Inn are also good with friendly service. All are very dog friendly. We visited Morcambe, Lancaster, Warton Crag, The Old Rectory, Leighton Moss Nature Reserve. All worth a visit. We also enjoyed a nice walk along the canal. The lodge is advertised with a barbecue but there wasn't one there, so we were a little disappointed. There is an iron and ironing board there, which was a nice surprise as they were not listed on the advertisement. We enjoyed our stay at Doormouse Lodge and would definitely return in the future. Thank you Justine for all your help.

• "We had a lovely stay in Doormouse Lodge, well equipped, comfy, well positioned on the site."

  The owner was very helpful and great with communication. The only negative point was there was no play area for the children or open space for ball games or general run around. Weather was great so ventured out to many of the beautiful places the Lakes have to offer.

• "Loved our stay at doormouse lodge."

  Beautiful furnishings, comfy beds and just a lovely place. Weather was very hot so take an additional fan as the lodge can get very warm but we were in a heatwave. Lovely outside veranda secured with a gate which was great for our cocker spaniel who also absolutely loved his hols. Having access to my Netflix accounts via smart tv was an added bonus too. Maybe a slight improvement would be on Wi-Fi and parasol could be replaced as looking a bit tired with tears. Lovely site, excellent facilities with nice and friendly neighbours and people on site in general. Site is large and Has a lovely walk for the dog around the gorgeous lake and lodges , ideal on the evening to cool off. Only 5 mins drive to Carnforth which has an Aldi, Booths and Tesco for your self catering needs. Also plenty of takeaways such as “sizzle in”for amazing kebabs. 20 mins to Morecambe for a lovely walk along the promenade and great views of the unique coastline with mountain views and only 35 mins drive to the beautiful bowness on Windermere and Ambleside.. I have stayed in many caravans and sites over last 6 years and this was one of my favourite all round holidays. Thank you for such a lovely stay we would definitely return

• "Fabulous stay, loved location and surrounding area, done as little or as much as we wanted."

  1 slight niggle is the wifi was atrocious and it should not be listed as a feature as we initially connected on 1st day but dropped out few hours later. Had to purchase additional data from our supplier for kids to hotspot us. However it did not detract from our holiday and we would certainly come back again

• "Owner was very welcoming, we bumped into the owner as arrived on the park a little earlier than check in time."

  Accommodation was absolutely fantastic and great for our lab Oscar. The little touches in the Accommodation made it more homely. This Accommodation looked one of the best ones on the park, it is very well looked after. We spent most days out apart from the days that it rained. We will definitely be back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay.

• "The lodge was beautiful, well maintained and very clean and comfortable."

  however, we were disappointed with the facilities, it would have been nice to have a small shop onsite (I don't drive), and the restaurant and bar closed at 7pm on the Sunday, and were closed all day (except for breakfast) on the Monday and Tuesday. Having said that, we would definitely visit again (or book another area on your site). Marian

• "When we arrived what should have been the green in front had JCB and workers there were they laid bases for new lodges to go on."

  It was noisy and dusty over 3 days. The en-suite smelt musty and damp so I went and bought a bathroom air freshner to take away the smell. The decking on the front near the french doors is rotting and the kitchen units were lifting, there was a patch of water damage on the ceiling in the lounge near the kitchen. The property just needs some updating and thought it was too costly for what to expect. Over all we did have a great weeks holiday and the weather was glorious which helped but also a fan would have been helpful as it was far too hot inside. The restaurant and bar was brilliant and they could not do enough for you and were very helpful.

  Thank you taking the time to provide your feedback, we are sorry you had the disturbance from the JCB's, we ourselves were not aware of this prior to your arrival, the works are now completed an. Thank you for your suggestion of a fan, if only we had been contact we would have happily provided one for your stay, we have now added on in the property. We are really glad to hear that you did still enjoy your week. Property Owner

  Very impressed by Doormouse Cottage. It was so clean and in such nice condition we initially thought it was new. Even with the very poor weather we still had an excellent walking holiday visiting the area and going down to Morcombe and around the Lakes. Coming back to such nice accomodation was just a bonus. Site facilities were very limited (due to C19) so we didn't get to try the bar and food and leisure facilities...... but that was due to the Covid restrictions. We would happily have another holiday at the site. Thanks.

  The shelves in the fridge had food crumbs on them and a jar of fish sauce has been left in the fridge but it had spilled on to the shelf. Makes me wonder if the fridge had been checked at all. Otherwise a beautiful lodge and great location.

  Thank you for your comments. Customer feedback is very important to us The owner did leave any new and unopened items in the fridge for future guests but will no longer do this. They do adhere to strict Covid 19 cleaning guidelines that we set out on the website. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday and you commented in the visitor book that you would visit again Property Owner
